Rare Cancers That Challenge The Medical Profession
Tongue Cancer
Rare in affluent countries, oral cavity cancer, including tongue cancer, is aggressive and hard to reach when advanced.
Ocular Melanoma
This eye cancer is difficult to diagnose early and may spread to the liver, making therapy difficult and ineffective.
Cholangiocarcinoma
Cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct cancer, is identified later because its signs are difficult to detect.
Sarcomas
Sarcomas are rare, heterogenic tissue-derived malignancies from bones and soft tissues, making it challenging to create a treatment strategy for each variety.
Glioblastoma
Due to its aggressive growth and infiltration of healthy brain cells, glioblastoma is difficult to treat with radiation and chemotherapy.
